[Koda Kumi] The 183rd Koda Kumi - The Artist - thread

[Minttulatte]

I was actually thinking that acoustic guitar part might be the fan interaction moment. She has sung those songs acoustically before as well. Not that I mind because to me Kuu singing acoustic tracks is always heavenly.

^ It might be. During the WOML Tour the acoustic section had the fan interaction.

YAY for with your smile replacing poppin'love cocktail

[Gustavopc]

^ ROFL

I wonder if they'll shoot not only all fan menu songs but all the ones for the medley and pre-encore and adding it as bonus footage (hopefully they'll do it). This ballad medley must have been amazing omgg

[thinkingoutloud89]

I told you they will change the single cover with every tour date ;P

thank you so so much

[CeReSu]

Thank you!!
The song is very nice and I agree with this "Burlesque" kind of song

[kaled kalil]

Thanks Lidayu and maze!

I love this kind of song, so I'm really glad that she's doing something like this again. I can make a mini ep with Let's show tonight / Shhh! / SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA / show girl and live happily. haha

[Gustavopc]

Thanks for sharing a link outside of JPS!

That scream at beginning lol Wasn't expecting it. I like the song, but there's something bothering me about it... The verses and chorus do not connect much, I think that's it

[Corvina]

I actually think the verses and the chorus connect really well, much better than I imagined with the previews, lol.
What I think is strange are the two "pauses" in between - the long note at the beginning and then only the back melody playing without happening much after the first chorus. Breaks the flow of the song for me a bit.
But other than that I love the song!
Definitely something very interesting!

A short review of a foreign guy who attended BSC tour

Shhh! Just came back from one of the best lives of my life. #bestsinglecollection is exactly what it's name says, #kodakumi gathered a some of her best singles and give us the best performance. It was unbelievable her energy doing all the classic choreographies for songs like Crazy For You, BUT, Butterfly, Lollipop, Ningyo Hime, Freaky etc. Even though she just got recovered from a cold, and we could see she was struggling with her voice in a few moments, that only makes the performance even more special, cause we could be sure she was singing live (and to be true, she struggling was still waaaaaay better then Ayumi or Namie live). Her dancing also was over the top (also better than Namie). This is the kind of #concert appealing to #nostalgic feelings.
Another great thing is that she just released her new single with special jackets for the tour, that you can't buy anywhere else. Of course I had to get my copy! Already addicted to #Shhh!
I also finally subscribed to #倖田組

sounds great

[ALfromHELLSING]

OMG I love Shhh! it's so catchy & fun, not to mention that it's such a perfect opening track for the live tour. I can't understand her Engrish at all tho. lol

THANK YOU!
This song is amazing, I love the 'Japanese beat' that appears throughout the song, even though in general it's a pretty Western-influenced tune. Reminds me of the songs in WOML a little bit

[KarenPang]

Shhh! is the love child of SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA & Let's show tonight

I love both tracks in Bon Voyage & it's a bit surreal finding traces of them in Shhh! which's actually really cool

Definitely a fitting opening no. to kick off the KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2016 ~Best Single Collection~ setlist for sure

Also I hope I wouldn't get smacked for asking this but are there any new pictures found in all 4 editions of Shhh! or only the front + back covers have her photos ?

After listening to Shhh! in repeat, I'm ok with it. this song has potential to be single, however it is reusing her songs like Show me your holla and especially Let's show tonight. Nevertheless, Kumi's song is always enjoyable for me than others and it should have PV.

About review, it makes me wanna attend this tour more. In my opinion, Kumi's live is better than Ayu and Namie so far. Creativity, Singing, and dancing are always combined together to be many great tours. Namie is dancing queen but she seems to lack of mood. Meanwhile, Ayu is better than her in creativity and mood but her singing is monotone for me. Overall, this is just my opinion.
